Illia asks - Why are you not using PHP 5?

Its got more to do with linux distributions then it does php itself!

Lets check out RHEL, or its Free brother Centos, What version of php to they include? PHP 4.x, you will not see php 5 in either until the next major release of RHEL and Centos 5.

Why? These are considered "enterpise" level OS's. They only provide bug fixes and minor upgrades, all major upgrades of any software are held until the next major release.

First off, yes I am a contributor to the Zend Framework however this is not the first time I have "lashed" out in relation to bug reporting, just the other week I sent a rather long message to Peirre on pear about his handling of a bug report and how I thought it was a bit childish.

Basically I have a habit of defending people from poorly thought out attacks in general.

So the point?

So Paul M. Jones did some benchmarking but the numbers looked a little funny so I ran just the Zend benchmark on my own system, Will get back with further results later but here is what I found.

So I just got back from my first PHP event and just thought I would comment on a few things.

First, if you have never made it to a PHP event you really need to go, It really was like one big family event. Being able to meet in person some of the people that have made PHP possible is a great feeling.

Basically jquery.php enables access to all basic methods of jquery that can be called through direct methods, Will try to run any method you call, but does an error log on methods that are not put in validBaseMethods and therefore not "tested to work"

Uses the Zend Framework but it can be done without, Just code no examples at this time will get that up shortly plus some basic help.

The basic files, I haven't had time to pull together any real docs/working examples but the code is pretty clear.

Setting up an autocomplete is as simple as doing

$("#ac_me").xg_autocomplete() at the bottom of a page

Some other neat little tricks included, Injecting a ZF view into an element.

Was thinking about this the other day and pretty any client/method you use there is the chance of a "man in the middle" attack.

Diffrent methods use various options to try to prevent this.

Been so busy haven't had much time to work on Flash Unity or make many posts online but things are calming down and I hope some to have more time for all.

Anyway I will be in San Jose for the Zend Conference the end of next month, haven't had the chance to go to a PHP related event so I am really looking forward to meeting the people behind php.

If you haven't taken a look at the Zend Framework yet, nows a great time to do so, even though Flash Unity is not a http based application im considering using parts of the Zend Framework in there as well.

Seems like the same question is asked every day, or the fact that you can't do it is complained about in one way or another so here it is

Search the mailing list all you need ;) It only updates when I take the time to run the script so it will always be a few days behind.

Been playing with some dynamic html, needed the ability to have a togglable fixed footer along with a fixed header so here you go.

Works in both Firefox and IE.

The footer can be hidden by clicking on the X, add a little javascript cookies and it would stay hidden per page load.
